Electoral system
Map of Luxembourg's constituencies with number of seats

The 60 members of the Chamber of Deputies are elected by proportional representation in four multi-member constituencies; nine in Nord constituency, seven in Est, 23 in Sud and 21 in Centre. Voters can vote for a party list or cast multiple votes for as many candidates as there are seats. Seat allocation is calculated in accordance with the Hagenbach-Bischoff quota.[1]

Only Luxembourg citizens may vote in general elections. A proposal to extend voting rights to foreigners who have lived in Luxembourg for at least ten years and have previously voted in a European or local election in Luxembourg, was rejected in a 2015 referendum. Voting is mandatory for eligible Luxembourg citizens who live in Luxembourg and are under 75 years of age.[2] Luxembourg citizens who live abroad may vote by post at the commune in which they most recently lived in Luxembourg.[3] Luxembourg citizens who were born in Luxembourg but have never lived there may vote by post at the commune in which they were born.[3] Luxembourg citizens who were not born in Luxembourg and have never lived there may vote by post at the commune of Luxembourg City.[3]
